With two free agent signings now on the books, the Dallas Cowboys have restructured the contract of the center Travis Fredericks to create more cap room, as expected.
Per a source, the Cowboys converted most of his $10 million base salary into a signing bonus, freeing up roughly $7 million in space under the 2018 salary cap.
The room was necessary to make signings of linebacker Joe Thomas and receiver Deonte Thompson official, while also giving them space for any more prospective signings.
This was a trigger the Cowboys long expected to pull when it came time to create more space.
